The Second Coming
What can the 44th president really achieve in his second term? Here are 10 ideas.
JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2013
If you were to print out all the white papers, op-eds, and think-tank reports urging U.S. President Barack Obama to do this or that in his second term, the sheer amount of paper produced would probably require chopping down the Amazon rain forest. There's a reason these well-intentioned ideas generally sit on the shelf: They're unrealistic. Wave a magic wand, and the president can do everything from make peace in the Middle East to reshape the entire world economy in America's favor. What follows is something different: advice he can actually implement.
Jody Williams: Stop Using Land Mines and Cluster Munitions
George Papandreou: Save Greece, Save Europe
John Prendergast: Get Kony
Kenneth Roth: Dump These 8 Unsavory Allies
David E. Hoffman: Take the Nukes off Alert
Zbigniew Brzezinski: Get His Authority Back
Gal Luft: Kill the Oil Monopoly
Gernot Wagner: Cut Power Plant Pollution
Edward P. Joseph: Make a Trade Deal with Europe
Micah L. Sifry: Fix American Democracy
